Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS)
An environmental intolerance where the body reacts to artificial electromagnetic fields with measurable symptoms. SPIRO has documented over 1,000 cases and developed recovery protocols with a 71% improvement rate.
What EHS is — and what it isn't
EHS is classified as an idiopathic environmental intolerance. The body reacts negatively to one or more types of electromagnetic pollution without a single identifiable cause. It is not a psychological condition, though psychological factors like the nocebo effect can amplify symptom perception.
The severity varies widely. Some individuals experience mild discomfort near routers or cell towers. Others develop debilitating reactions that prevent them from functioning in modern environments — unable to work in offices, ride in cars, or sleep in homes with standard wiring.
Which frequencies trigger the strongest response varies from person to person, but the general pattern is consistent: the more artificial electromagnetic pollution in the environment, the worse the symptoms. Individuals with EHS often also present multiple chemical sensitivities, which compounds the problem.
Persistent, disproportionate to activity level
Difficulty falling or staying asleep
Localized or diffuse, worsening near EMF sources
Difficulty concentrating, memory problems
Elevated stress markers, nervous system dysregulation
Ringing or buzzing in the ears
Tingling, burning, or warmth near devices
Palpitations, reduced HRV
Without clear physical cause
Filtering without disconnecting
The standard advice for people with EHS is avoidance — move to a rural area, eliminate wireless devices, shield the bedroom. This approach reduces exposure but makes normal life impossible and doesn't address the underlying sensitivity.
SPIRO takes a different approach. Rather than removing the electromagnetic environment, it filters the harmful characteristics of that environment. The SPIRO field repolarizes artificial emissions within its range, making them compatible with the body's bioelectrical system. Devices keep working. Connectivity stays intact. But the polarization patterns that were triggering biological reactions are reorganized into natural patterns the body doesn't react to.
In a longitudinal study of 357 patients (2014–2018), 71% of those using SPIRO filters experienced significant reduction in EHS symptoms within an average of 27 days. Most individuals did not experience improvement until their full environment was filtered.
Key insight from 1,000+ cases: partial filtering often produces partial results. The most successful recoveries happen when the protocol covers the phone (Card), the workspace (Square X or Disc), the sleeping environment (Disc or Disc Ultra), and the electrical wiring (Stroom Master). Layered filtering is what produces complete environmental control.
The EHS Recovery Protocol
Full environmental filtering
Cover all major emission sources: phone, router, workspace, bedroom, and electrical wiring. Use the recommended SPIRO products for each source type.
Nutrition and inflammation
Eliminate inflammatory and antinutrient foods — sugar, gluten, and excess omega-6. Shift toward an anti-inflammatory diet rich in antioxidants.
Grounding and natural routines
Regular barefoot contact with the earth (30+ minutes daily) helps restore the body's electrical equilibrium. Combined with SPIRO filtering, grounding supports homeostasis recovery.
Address the nocebo effect
The expectation that EMFs will cause harm can amplify symptom perception. Guided reassurance — supported by measurable improvements — helps break the anxiety cycle.
Monitor and adjust
Self-assessment of symptoms and sleep quality over time. Most see improvement within 27 days. Severe cases may need stronger products (Disc X or Disc Ultra).
Chemical sensitivity screening
Many EHS patients also present multiple chemical sensitivities. Identifying and addressing these can significantly reduce total symptom burden.
Grounding as an essential practice
Grounding (or earthing) is direct physical contact with the Earth — walking barefoot on grass, sand, or soil. The body absorbs electrons from the Earth's surface, which helps neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation, and restore natural electrical balance.
For individuals with EHS, grounding is not a standalone solution, but it is a meaningful complement to SPIRO filtering. The combination of a filtered electromagnetic environment and regular grounding accelerates the restoration of homeostasis.
Research has documented benefits including reduced cortisol levels, improved sleep quality, decreased inflammation, better cardiovascular markers, and strengthened immune function. At least 30 minutes of daily barefoot contact is recommended.

Read full reportWhat the protocol requires
EHS recovery depends on filtering the full environment. These are the minimum recommendations — severe cases or proximity to high-intensity sources may need additional coverage.
Card
SPIRO® Card
On your cellphone. Filters near-field emissions from the device closest to your body.
Card X
SPIRO® Card X
Worn at chest level for extended personal protection. Important when traveling or in uncontrolled environments.
Disc
SPIRO® Disc
One per main room. Handles ambient electromagnetic load from multiple appliances and wireless sources.
Disc X
SPIRO® Disc X
For high-exposure rooms: smart homes, offices with dense electronics, or homes near cell towers.
Disc Ultra
SPIRO® Disc Ultra
For severe EHS, proximity to 5G base stations, or persistent insomnia. Maximum filtering power available.
Stroom Master
Stroom Master®
One per room or 4 per 100m². Filters dirty electricity in the wiring that SPIRO Discs can't fully reach.
If you're living with EHS
Recovery takes time, and no two cases are the same. Where you live, what you do for work, how long you've been symptomatic — all of it shapes what the path looks like for you. There is no overnight fix.
What we can tell you, from over a thousand documented cases, is that the combination of full environmental filtering, dietary changes, grounding, and addressing the psychological dimension of EMF sensitivity produces measurable results in the majority of people who follow the protocol consistently.
Start with what you can control: your phone, your bedroom, your wiring. Monitor your sleep quality and symptom levels. Most people notice changes within the first month. If you have chemical sensitivities alongside EHS, address those in parallel — the two compound each other.
If you need help determining which products fit your situation, or if your case involves proximity to cell towers, substations, or industrial sources, reach out. Each case is different, and the product configuration should reflect that.
